PCLinuxOS 2009...
This has been the single most stable OS of all for me. I cannot get it to crash!
I have it fully bootable from a 16GB USB stick auto-running into E-UAE on an AA1 netbook that is SSDless and HDDless...
My first attempt at Linux was a full genuine Yggdrasil P'n'P Fall 1995 edition. Never ever got it working correctly. Still got the original 2 CDs and Manual, Sadly the box has gone.
My next attempt was Caldera 7.0, Then 7.1, worked fine unless I wanted sound... ;o/
Then came Knoppix 3.something and that worked and my eyes lit up. I still use a live CD version of 5.1.1 for testing purposes.
Tried Mandriva/Mandrake, 9.0? can't remember, and that was seriously unstable.
Ended up with Debian 6.0.x + Gnome, (squeeze?), and use this along with PCLinuxOS 2009 + KDE, and Knoppix 5.1.1 + KDE as test beds and main OSes...
To re-iterate PCLinuxOS 2009 has been, and is the one, single most, stable consumer OS I have ever had the pleasure to use...
(Dare I say I am using Windows ATM, or is this considered swearing... ;o)

chromium
chromium-browser(1) USER COMMANDS chromium-browser(1)
NAME
chromium-browser - the web browser from Google
SYNOPSIS
chromium-browser [OPTION] [PATH|URL]
DESCRIPTION
See the Google Chrome help center for help on using the browser.
<http://www.google.com/support/chrome/>
This manpage only describes invocation, environment, and arguments.
OPTIONS
Chromium has hundreds of undocumented command-line flags that are added and removed at the whim of the developers. Here, we document rela-
tively stable flags.
--user-data-dir=DIR
Specifies the directory that user data (your "profile") is kept in. Defaults to ~/.config/chromium . Separate instances of
Chromium must use separate user data directories; repeated invocations of chromium-browser will reuse an existing process for a
given user data directory.
--app=URL
Runs URL in "app mode": with no browser toolbars.
--incognito
Open in incognito mode.
--proxy-server=host:port
Specify the HTTP/SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy server to use for requests. This overrides any environment variables or settings picked via
the options dialog. An individual proxy server is specified using the format:
[<proxy-scheme>://]<proxy-host>[:<proxy-port>]
Where <proxy-scheme> is the protocol of the proxy server, and is one of:
"http", "socks", "socks4", "socks5".
If the <proxy-scheme> is omitted, it defaults to "http". Also note that "socks" is equivalent to "socks5".
Examples:
--proxy-server="foopy:99"
Use the HTTP proxy "foopy:99" to load all URLs.
--proxy-server="socks://foobar:1080"
Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all URLs.
--proxy-server="socks4://foobar:1080"
Use the SOCKS v4 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all URLs.
--proxy-server="socks5://foobar:66"
Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:66" to load all URLs.
It is also possible to specify a separate proxy server for different URL types, by prefixing the proxy server specifier with a URL
specifier:
Example:
--proxy-server="https=proxy1:80;http=socks4://baz:1080"
Load https://* URLs using the HTTP proxy "proxy1:80". And load http://*
URLs using the SOCKS v4 proxy "baz:1080".
--no-proxy-server
Disables the proxy server. Overrides any environment variables or settings picked via the options dialog.
--proxy-auto-detect
Autodetect proxy configuration. Overrides any environment variables or settings picked via the options dialog.
--proxy-pac-url=URL
Specify proxy autoconfiguration URL. Overrides any environment variables or settings picked via the options dialog.
--password-store=<basic|gnome|kwallet>
Set the password store to use. The default is to automatically detect based on the desktop environment. basic selects the built
in, unencrypted password store. gnome selects Gnome keyring. kwallet selects (KDE) KWallet. (Note that KWallet may not work reli-
ably outside KDE.)
--version
Show version information.
As a GTK+ app, Chromium also obeys GTK+ command-line flags, such as --display. See the GTK documentation for more:
<http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-running.html>
<http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-x11.html>
ENVIRONMENT
Chromium obeys the following environment variables:
all_proxy
Shorthand for specifying all of http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy
http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy
The proxy servers used for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. Note: because Gnome/KDE proxy settings may propagate into these variables in some
terminals, this variable is ignored (in preference for actual system proxy settings) when running under Gnome or KDE. Use the com-
mand-line flags to set these when you want to force their values.
auto_proxy
Specify proxy autoconfiguration. Defined and empty autodetects; otherwise, it should be an autoconfig URL. But see above note
about Gnome/KDE.
SOCKS_SERVER
SOCKS proxy server (defaults to SOCKS v4, also set SOCKS_VERSION=5 to use SOCKS v5).
no_proxy
Comma separated list of hosts or patterns to bypass proxying.
FILES
~/.config/chromium
Default directory for configuration data.
~/.cache/chromium
Default directory for cache data. (Why? See <http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/> .)
